May 2, 2014 T&C Recipes Our favorite restaurant in Nantucket, Cru, shares the recipe for its grilled skirt steak with summer tomatoes, avocado & sweet corn salsa verde. By Micaela English Our favorite restaurant in Nantucket, Cru, opens it's doors for the summer season on May 8. We can't wait to go this summer, and in the meantime, make their amazing skirt steak recipe at home. Yum!
Skirt steak 4, 6 oz skirt steaks 1/4 c olive oil 6 cloves garlic, crushed 2 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped cracked black pepper Marinate the skirt steak a few hours before you plan to grill. Refrigerate until you begin preheating your grill. Salsa verde base (The salsa verde base may be made a day ahead.) 1/4 c chopped green olives 1/4 c chopped pepperoncini peppers 1/4 c finely chopped red onion 1/2 c fresh lemon juice Add: 2 c sweet corn, grilled and removed from the cob 1 cup chopped summer herbs. (We love to use basil, flat leaf parsley, chives & lovage) 1/4 c olive oil 4 lemons, juiced 4 sliced farm tomatoes 1 sliced avocado Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa verde base and refrigerate until you are about to serve the steaks. I like to peel the corn and grill it whole on the cob. Let the corn cool and then cut it off of the cob. At the last moment, combine the grilled corn, fresh herbs, lemon juice and olive oil with the salsa verde base. Grill the steaks. About 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steaks rest as you arrange the sliced tomatoes and avocado. Slice the steaks and lay them across the sliced tomatoes and avocado. Top with the sweet corn salsa verde and dig in! This recipe should serve 4. |
